"We Don't Love There Anymore" lyrics

We Don't Love There Anymore

I let my thoughts go walking down
A shady avenue
I knew the way by heart
I walked it many times with you

Then my journey ended when
I stood outside the door
Of a house that's cold and empty
We don't love there anymore

We don't love there anymore
I heard no footsteps on the floor
Just a shell that housed old memories
And forgotten lovers' lore

Rusty nails and broken glass
A wooden castle of the past
Where dwelt a dream that didn't last
We don't love there anymore

My yesterdays lie undisturbed
Beneath a film of dust
No one else has claimed the house
It lived and died for us

Through a broken windowpane
A shadow caught my eye
It was just a ghost of happiness
That came to ask me why

We don't love there anymore
I heard no footsteps on the floor
Just a shell that housed old memories
And forgotten lovers' lore

Rusty nails and broken glass
A wooden castle of the past
Where dwelt a dream that didn't last
We don't love there anymore
